CONFIG_VMLINUX_VALIDATION is just the validation of the "noinstr" rules.
That name is a misnomer, because now objtool actually does vmlinux
validation for other reasons.
Rename CONFIG_VMLINUX_VALIDATION to CONFIG_NOINSTR_VALIDATION.

Now that stack validation is an optional feature of objtool, add
CONFIG_OBJTOOL and replace most usages of CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION with
it.
CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION can now be considered to be frame-pointer
specific. CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC is already inherently valid for live
patching, so no need to "validate" it.

When building with Clang and CONFIG_TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING, there are a
lot of unreachable warnings, like:
arch/x86/kernel/traps.o: warning: objtool: handle_xfd_event()+0x134: unreachable instruction
Without an input to the inline asm, 'volatile' is ignored for some
reason and Clang feels free to move the reachable() annotation away from
its intended location.
Fix that by re-adding the counter value to the inputs.

The expansion of instrumentation_begin/instrumentation_end on s390 will
result in a compiler error if the __COUNTER__ value is high enough.
For example with "i" (154) the "%c0" operand of annotate_reachable
will be expanded to -102:
-102:
.pushsection .discard.instr_begin
.long -102b - .
.popsection
This is a quirk of the gcc backend for s390, it interprets the %c0
as a signed byte value. Avoid using operand modifiers in this case
by simply converting __COUNTER__ to string, with the same result,
but in an arch assembler independent way.

Linus pointed out that compiler.h - which is a key header that gets included in every
single one of the 28,000+ kernel files during a kernel build - was bloated in:
6553896666: ("vmlinux.lds.h: Create section for protection against instrumentation")
Linus noted:

Move these primitives into a new header: <linux/instrumentation.h>, and include that
header in the headers that make use of it.
Unfortunately one of these headers is asm-generic/bug.h, which does get included
in a lot of places, similarly to compiler.h. So the de-bloating effect isn't as
good as we'd like it to be - but at least the interfaces are defined separately.
No change to functionality intended.
